Understanding Your Results
Pathogenic variant detected
Chloramphenicol resistance likely. Consider alternative antibiotics and further clinical evaluation.
No pathogenic variants detected
No evidence of genetic chloramphenicol resistance. Standard treatment may be effective, but clinical correlation is advised.
Consult a healthcare provider if symptoms persist after treatment, for genetic counseling, or if results indicate mutations for further management.
Limitations
- ⚠May not detect all rare mutations
